3Com 6412M-25-TP manual Connecting Devices to the ATM Ports, Via Building Wiring

Connecting Devices to the ATM Ports

You can connect devices to the ATM ports either through the building wiring or by a direct connection.

Via Building Wiring

To connect an ATM device via building wiring, follow the steps listed below.

Note: This

procedure

begins

with the

cabling

of

the

ATM device (such as a 25.6-Mbps

ATM adapter installed in a workstation) to the building

faceplate;

then

it

describes

connecting

the

ONcore

switching hub

or

CELLplex

4000 to

the

patch

panel

in

the

wiring

closet.

1 Look at

the

cabling

chart,

which your

network

planner provided,

to

determine

how the ONcore switching hub or CELLplex

4000 should

be connected

to

the

network.

2 In the work area, connect one end of a straight-through cable (with ATM-compliant pin assigments) to the ATM connector on the device and the other end to the ATM connector on the faceplate where the building wiring terminates.

3 Label the faceplate if it does not already have a cable label. Follow your enterprise’s procedures for cable labeling. If there is more than one wiring closet on a floor, record on the same line, the wiring closet identifier or location and the cable identifier.

4 In	the	wiring	closet,	connect the cable that	originated at the		ATM	device to
the appropriate connector on the patch panel or other						equipment	where the
building		wiring	terminates. Connect the other end		of the	cable to	an	ATM
port	on	the 6412M-25-TP		module.

5 Label the connector on the patch panel (or other equipment used to terminate the building wiring).
